Abstract
This economy profile for Doing Business
2016 presents the 11 Doing Business indicators for
Venezuela, Republica Bolivariana de. To allow for useful
comparison, the profile also provides data for other
selected economies (comparator economies) for each
indicator. Doing Business 2016 is the 13th edition in a
series of annual reports measuring the regulations that
enhance business activity and those that constrain it.
Economies are ranked on their ease of doing business; for
2015 Venezuela, Republica Bolivariana de ranks 186. A high
ease of doing business ranking means the regulatory
environment is more conducive to the starting and operation
of a local firm. Doing Business presents quantitative
indicators on business regulations and the protection of
property rights that can be compared across 189 economies
from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and over time. Doing Business
sheds light on how easy or difficult it is for a local
entrepreneur to open and run a small to medium-size business
when complying with relevant regulations. It measures and
tracks changes in regulations affecting 11 areas in the life
cycle of a business: starting a business, dealing with
construction permits, getting electricity, registering
property, getting credit, protecting minority investors,
paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts,
resolving insolvency and labor market regulation. The data
in this report are current as of June 1, 2015 (except for
the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period from
January to December 2014).
